NUR631 Advanced Physiology and Pathophysiology

Week 10 Discussion

DQ1 Answer both of the following discussion questions for your discussion response using the "Discussion Forum Sample."

Explain the differences between irritable bowel syndrome and inflammatory bowel disease.

Gastric cancers require meticulous management. Choose a gastrointestinal cancer that is primary-sourced in an organ of the gastrointestinal system and discuss the epidemiological characteristics and pathological ramifications of the condition.

DQ2 Answer all of the questions below using the "Discussion Forum Sample" for your discussion response.

Scenario

A.O. is a 28-year-old woman who presents to your clinic with complaints of rectal bleeding and weakness. Five days ago, she noticed bright red blood in her stools. Furthermore, she reports that her daily bowel movements have increased to five or six with significant diarrhea. She has been weak for approximately 3 days. She has not traveled outside of the city, been hospitalized, or received antibiotics recently.

A proctosigmoidoscopy was conducted 3 days after the patient's discharge from the acute care clinic. A significant pseudopolyps formation could be seen. Biopsies of the colon revealed erosions of the mucosa and ulcerations into the submucosa with mixed acute (i.e., neutrophils) and chronic (lymphocytes and macrophages) inflammatory cells. No dysplastic cells suggesting the development of colon carcinoma were seen. No multinucleated giant cells suggesting Crohn's disease were seen. Inflammation and ulceration were limited to the rectum and sigmoid colon only. Crypts of Lieberku?hn were intensely inflamed. Marked hemorrhaging of capillaries in the mucosa was also observed.
